A new study says people who stop taking weight-loss injections are likely to regain their weight within two years. New research published by the British Medical Journal looked at the weight-loss medications sold under the brand names Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound. It found that those who take the drugs often start regaining weight within a month after stopping the medication, and that all of the user's weight loss will likely be regained within a year and a half. The research also showed that those who stop taking weight-loss injections are likely to regain weight four times faster than those who regained it after quitting diet and exercise. The study concludes that doctors should also prescribe lifestyle changes that include eating healthily and exercise to help keep the weight off.
